Carla Bruni wants to drink & smoke

Carla Bruni is tired of being pregnant and wants to drink and smoke again.

Almost every woman who has carried a baby to term has been there: There comes a point when you just want that baby out. Carla Bruni is no exception, but her reasoning has nothing to do with aches and pains -- she just wants some wine and a cigarette.

Saying she is "totally fed up" with her pregnancy, Bruni told French newspaper Le Parisien, "Quite frankly, I can't stand it any more. I spend most of my time either sitting down or lying down. I can't drink or smoke any more. I'm in a hurry to get it over with."

Bruni, the First Lady of France, already has a son Aurelien from a previous relationship.

"The baby will be viable at any time from October 1," said the former model. "Aurelien arrived on time, which means this could be a long wait, but I really do want this child [out] so much."

Regardless, the timing of the birth could not be more perfect for the political powerhouse dad. "Politically speaking, the timing of this pregnancy is perfect. It is a 'marketing-baby' that will be born just before the last months of presidential campaigning really get going," wrote France's Marianne magazine.
